Homeowner Volunteers

Community Services: Why Homeowners Should Volunteer for the Board

Homeowner associations (HOAs) provide a wide range of community services that are managed by a Board of Directors. The Board is made up of volunteer homeowners who are elected by the HOA. Serving on the Board requires a huge personal commitment.

Because of the dedication, time and energy needed, it’s important more homeowners share in the responsibility. Here’s why I think members should volunteer to run for the Board:

You can directly impact quality of life issues in your community.

You can help protect everyone’s property values.

You can work to correct problems you’ve experienced that haven’t been resolved.

You can do your fair share for your community.

You can learn new skills, become a better communicator and add professional qualifications to your resume.

You can make new friends, attend more social events and have fun.

Working on the Board is demanding. But, it can also be very rewarding. I believe it’s something every HOA member should set out to do.
